Because 200 more flat HP makes me feel oh so comfortable ganking strong AD lanes or taking a taking a turret shot or two, not to mention the shield. 35 armour helps a great deal.

Spending gold for more clear speed isn't necessary if you already kill most of the camp by jumping in. Zac actually would PREFER having to cast one more W to clear the camp, since he'll end up with more health after blob pickups.

Tenacity is nice, but not an early game necessity by any means. Zac doesn't lose as much while being CC'd as other tanky champions since his main job is pushing W every couple of seconds.

Locket rush is simply better overall than Ancient Golem rush if you want to get off successful ganks. If you want to farm the jungle all day and not use your amazing ganking kit, be my guest.---Every Villain Is Lemons, otherwise known as E.V.I.L.!Contacts in Profile

From: NicoGrimm | Posted: 5/15/2013 4:24:12 PM | #021What situation can there possibly be where building a Locket as your first item is better? Ever?

The situation where after you build your jungle item you are now sitting on a jungle item and have no gold put towards your other core items whatsoever. If by midgame you haven't been able to afford Visage or Sunfire because you wanted a jungle item early game you're in trouble.---CHOOOOOOOOOOCOLAAAAAAAAAAAAAATE!!!!!Contacts in Profile

Sounds like you can't afford your SV/SFC because you can't clear the jungle fast enough to go gank.

For me personally, I get wraiths first and merc treads/

The reason is that I have both MS quints and MS masteries that lets me have 400+ MS when I do get merc treads.

I like Wraiths for the spell vamp, and the CDR on Smite. The CDR lets me use smite more, and helps me to have it for important objectives. That, and in some fights I use smite on a minion to get a very nice chunk of health back in a team fight.

Okay some of these posts, man.---LoL IGN: Greedy

1. Get machete2. Clear everything faster3. Use the extra gold gained from clearing stuff faster to buy other items--- Your Existance is a plothole - KaioliniYou aren't on YouTube so this makes your topic not real so hurhurhur. -Drekerr

I don't get a machete at all on Zac, I need to get actual useful items.

on the other hand it's not like all the Spirit of the X items are hueg OP or anything and build out of machete.---"And though I drive through the valley of the shadow of death, I fear no evil because I'm driving a house-sized mass of '**** you'"
